Mark this an under-average desaster - as funny as a cry for help


I did like the series, though it started to be winding in the later seasons.
This movie, god beware, is a never-ending nightmare to watch. It starts funny, throwing rice crisps, but then almost all humour dries out, with an adopted son with behavioral problems, some strange story of closing down, an unbelievable and totally unfunny bus-driver, the troubles to follow mother nature's calls with a broken onboard toilet on a bus, and the 50 years of Capitol Insurance. With none good gags, like classical music on stage, insufficient rooms, drunken people, tension between Ulf and Tanja, mostly about their adopted son and his behavioral queerness.
The only reasonable parts are those re-introducing personage of earlier seasons.
And, as 'climax' the evening proceedings of honoring the former employees died during the previous year, the new marketing clip. And, as always, 'Papa' managing to convince the boss of his abilities.
And the quicker as usual fall from grace by bringing Jennifer to an exclusive whorehouse.

Until here it is at least bearable, but if you have no life-time to waste, spare yourself the last half hour. Even for an Ex-Stromberg-Fan like myself, I wished that out of existence.
4/10 for the beginning, and bringing back to live characters from earlier seasons.
